This is the story of Lenny Bender, a man who finds his basic freedom in life driving to and from work. He lives intuitively with an innate ability to flow with circumstance and relishes neither knowing nor controlling what comes next. When he returns home from work one evening, Lenny discovers his wife, Pamela, had moved more of his things including his guitar into the attic, and that she had done the impossible, ruined his favorite dish, lasagna. Alienated from his own home, Lenny ventures out in his '62 Triumph to a familiar world that is altered forever. "It's Not Supposed to Be This Way" is a black humor novel about postmodern America that intertwines social reality with driving, baseball, relationships, and the delicate balance of life held together by a thread. Lenny's tale is intricately crafted, weaving past and present in a tapestry that captures the heart and soul of experience.
